BEFORE BREWING YOUR
FIRST POT OF COFFEE
During the manufacturing process, dust can get trapped in your coffeemaker. We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply fill the reservoir and power on the unit. (See steps #2 and #6 in MAKING COFFEE instructions, below). DO NOT
ADD COFFEE!
Once you’ve done that, brew a pot of real coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best!
